Oscars 2009

So, as everyone should know, I am obsessed with all things having to do with movie stars. The Academy Awards is like a Holiday for me. And probably my favorite holiday besides Christmas. I look forward to this event all year long. I had it in my planner as soon as they released the date for the 2009 ceremony! Well, this year my other movie fanatic friend Kathryn and I had a little party for the Oscars. There were only 5 people total but I couldn't of handled any more than that because I needed total concentration to watch my favorite stars.

It was a big night for me. Meryl AND Kate were both nominated for Best Actress. AND Jennifer Aniston was a surprise presenter (I was so proud of her for standing right in front of Brangelina - did everyone catch her smile to them? I DID!! I wish she would have stuck her tongue out instead!) Also, I LOVED Ben Stiller's impersonation of Joaquin and the musical number with Hugh Jackman and Beyoncee. I was also pleased that Brad, Angelina and Anne Hathaway all lost!!

Here is my favorite picture of the night! Two of my favorite actresses. If Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet were in this, I would have it blown up and hung over my bed.

And Kate won! I actually wanted Meryl to win the Oscar since she hasn't won one in 26 years. BUT Kate was the only other one nominated that I was okay with beating Meryl. Kate has been nominated for 5 others so I am definitely glad she won too. And she thanked Emma Thompson in acceptance speech!!!

I LOVED Penelope Cruz's acceptance speech too. I was rooting for Viola Davis to win but I assume this is just fine!


I am sad award season is over but it's only 7 months or so until it starts back up again!!!
